Starcraft 2: Build Order Tutorial - PvP Double Gas Steal
58This build is rarely used on ladder. During my whole Starcraft history, I've only ran into this build once, which means many people won't have much experience vs it.
I go over some common follow ups, which are mainly:
Proxy gate(s)
They chrono zealots and play the catchup game (not as common)
They either forge expand or regular expand
If they have a probe in your base, they might double gas steal you.
It is very important that you wall off, so that you can scout for an incoming probe that will in-base proxy 2 gate you. It also helps to defend proxy gate(s) after you steal both gasses as you can full wall off with a canon if you choose to do so.
Maps that this works on:
Cloud Kingdom (in 1v1 ladder pool)
Dual Sight
Sanshorn Mist
Metropolis (suggested to send two probes)
This build can work on other 2 player maps where the gasses are far apart, but the risk is that they can quickly take the gas on the opposite side. On 4 player maps it is possible, but you will have to send out 2 probes (assuming no close position spawns). It's probably not worth it on 4 player maps in my opinion.
Tip: Take the gas closest to their mineral line first in case they extremely quickly take their other gas.
Replays:
http://drop.sc/209978 - Replay used in this video. I go 4 gate warp prism vs his forge expand.
http://drop.sc/209979 - He double gas steals me back because I didn't take my own gas soon enough. Some BM at the end, I recommend using the mature language filter.
I will add more replays as time goes on, or if you have any please private message me them and I will add them here! Thanks!
